Hypnosis – What is it?
By using hypnosis the hypnotherapist tunes into the subconscious mind where beliefs and behaviour learned throughout our lives are stored.
Mind Power
A natural state of deep physical relaxation and heightened mental awareness, hypnosis feels like day-dreaming. It tunes into the subconscious mind where beliefs and behaviour learned throughout our lives are stored. These are the building blocks with which our emotional intelligence and personality are constructed. Hypnosis has proved to be a powerful tool for maintaining well-being and restoring our peace of mind.
Many who struggle to deal with problems or bad habits for years find that hypnotherapy works when willpower alone cannot, enabling them to make positive, lasting changes with ease.
Although there is still much to learn about the way in which the human mind functions, there is extensive, scientific evidence of the clinical effectiveness of hypnosis. Anyone can benefit from hypnotherapy as an empowering means of reaching their full potential and overcoming negative ways of thinking, feeling or behaving.
